DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

Fuller-4743 and Fuller-578 appear to represent the same person because: John Fuller's profile has been waiting years to be identified. I believe the best circumstantial evidence points to this John Fuller 1760 son of Elijah Fuller because Elijah is listed on the page of the source on this profile, and John was only age 14. There is no other John Fuller to match any other detail of location, date, or military fact.

Fowler-495 and Fuller-578 do not represent the same person because: name and info are not the same

What is the source for the first name of Abiah? It wasn't found in either birth or death records.

This profile is locked, but based on info re the Green Mountain Boys, which were part of American Revolution, it looks like it should be open.

John Fuller, son of Elijah Fuller (who was identified as one of the Green Mountain Boys), was born Dec 26, 1760 at Coventry, CT: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F74J-Z25, and died at Shaftsbury VT, Feb 14, 1842 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XFVM-TTP FAG: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XFVM-TTP

If the above information is correct, he is a duplicate to John Fuller

Is the note in the bio supposed to relate to John Fuller in some way? Was he from Vermont, in the Green Mountain Boys? Can you provide an approximate date of birth or death? Any clues to his identity?
